### Installation

**Please note that we recommend installing always from the Chrome store even when working with Edge. This due the substantial delay Edge has in making updates available.**

**Can't find the extension?**\
If you can't see the compass icon, ensure that the extension is correctly installed by checking your browser's extensions menu. When the extension is active, you will see the dScribe icon.

Additionally, you can pin the extension to the toolbar for easy and quick access on any webpage.
